Born in Israel, raised in Argentina and a citizen of the world for the last 6 years. I'm passionate about learning and experiencing life through art and emotions. In Buenos Aires, I got the opportunity to study with amazing directors such as Hugo Midón, Nora Moseinco and Sofía Brihet. I have been in acting groups in Tulum, and ever since I arrived to Cabos I'm part of the warm and loving Banzai family. My mission today is to find innovative ways of communication through art and technology. Parallel to my acting career, I have developed passion in marketing. I find the two things to be incredibly rewarding when doing it with intention.

I was born 35 years ago in Buenos Aires, Arg. Where I trained as an aerial acrobat. I started but did not finish a career in Image and Sound but from which I grew a great love for audiovisual arts. I moved to Mexico more than 10 years ago where I developed as a performer and choreographer in various companies and hotels. During those 10 years, and in parallel to acrobatics, I trained as a Pilates and restorative yoga instructor, which is what I currently do. In SOFA I am passionate to expand my artistic expression through acting, especially after having retired from acrobatics the possibility of returning to the experience of my first career greatly excites me. Finally, the theme of life after death and the ability to communicate with beings on the other side is something that has always fascinated me.

I am passionate about art. All my life I have worked in artistic activities in one form or another. Study in drama and fine arts; the first at the Arte Escénico Institute and the second at the La Esmeralda National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving (INBA). I have trained for over 30 years in acting, directing and working in video and film productions in the Art department. I had a show on Paranormal Themes. My histrionic preference goes towards the classics. I have written and directed various productions, stepped on many stages and developed a multitude of characters. From SOFA what I am passionate about, first is that it is what I prepared for and studied for years, acting. I love the theme of the series, much of what I covered as a host in my program “Mundo Anuna”. It brings me joy working with the creative energy in all of my co-creators; the atmosphere is very relaxed and positive and we are all here for the same reason, making art to be captured through the lens of the camera.

I was born in the city and port of Veracruz on January 5, 1989. Ever since I remember that art has been part of my life, folk dance as a child, music and finally in acting. I discovered my talent and passion for singing during the last year of high school, I was always in workshops during high school, and in university and in 2014 I studied privately with the Cuban conductor and singer Anarelys Sosa. In 2015 I decided to study acting and drama at the Center for Artistic and Actoral Training in Mexico City under the direction of Edgar Cerecedo. In that same year, I worked in the conduction of a program of the Xochimilco delegation. That year I moved to Los Cabos and started working in conduction and later in theatre. SOFA is my first film project. I am excited and I really hope you love my character, Sandra, as much as I do. The project and the story are great to me and personally I identified with the themes that the series covers. I hope it become a success.
